7th Grade Algebra 1: Welcome back! I am so excited to meet everyone! Our first couple of weeks will focus on getting to know one another, establishing routines and procedures, MAP testing and introducing our new math curriculum, EdGems. Here is the link to our Agenda this year.
Week of 8/17-8/21: Unit 1 Family Overview We will begin Unit 1 this week. See the Agenda for daily lessons/assignments.
Unit 1: Thinking Like a Historian & The Fall of Rome
Students will begin the year learning how historians investigate by reviewing the foundations of a civilization: geography, religion, achievements, politics, and social structure. They will put these skills into practice as they explore the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Throughout the unit, students will discover that major historical events rarely have a single cause and will use evidence to develop and support their own conclusions. These foundational historical-thinking skills will be used throughout the year as students investigate civilizations and societies around the world.
